No Nukes For Oil?

In Today’s Big Story at thetyee.ca perhaps the most interesting aspect was the (wisely) restrained reaction of Jack Layton – “It’s certainly incumbent on somebody proposing to use nuclear plants to provide the power for the oil sands to tell us where they are going to put the waste. And I don’t think that question has been answered.” It is important not to insist that it will always remain unanswered, and in fact finding a satisfactorily answer may be our only realistic hope for solving the CO2 problem.
